Thread: GarminMobilePC 5.00.70g (English+Russian+Finnish+Swedish+Romanian )

@neil, thanks for the reply.
my unit is viliv s5. it's got a built in internal gps. i used to have the GMPC 50.00.10 version working fine until i fancied upgrading to GMPC 50.00.70. I couldn't make it work. just now i have installed the old version that you just gave me and it seems like it doesn't work either this time. i re installed the 50.00.70, looks like it is going to work because the gps is already found but it couldn't get a satellite position. i let it search for satellite overnight, left it by the window with clear blue sky but still no signs of the birds. GPS is read by Franson's GPSgate using the virtual port 5,6,7 and 8. i wonder what could be missing in my process. the only thing i notice now is the .70 version shows all the serial ports created by Franson's GPSgate. alot of them around 6 or 7 ports while the .10 version is showing only one port and that is the Comm1 port. why can' they be the same? if i could only get all those ports in .10 version, i am sure i can get the satellite fix but the problem is it can only search for 1.

no, i didn't run it as admin. just the normal way soon as i open the apps. i just lost the connection with gpsgate again. as i renewed all the profiles. this would take me another whole day to get it back connected with internal gps.

edit. just checked the unit now. since it is running windows xp, i don't know how to run the program as an admin. not the way how it is in win7.
